For a more modest neckline fit try this easy neckline alteration. Bring the shoulder line closer to the neck and cross the wrap higher on the chest as seen in both of the sleeved versions.
Wrap Neckline Alteration Directions
Fabric: #809 Print ITY (2011 Early Spring)
Since this alteration can affect the length of the bodice seam where the skirt is attached, it is necessary to extend the center front seam of the skirt as well. Don’t forget to move the facing fold line on the skirt.
Add a collar and replace the bell cuffs with bands like this palm frond print Wrap Dress by following these directions: Wrap Dress Collar and Sleeve
Extend the collar width an extra 1 ½ inches for the look you see here.
Fabric: #810 Print (2011 Early Spring)
To create the sleeveless version, serge the armholes and the neckline first, press and then complete the side seams. See the bottom right on the first page of construction steps. Perfect for warmer days and great paired with a little cardigan for those cooler evenings. This print will add some attitude to your spring wardrobe.
